Chapter 271 - 271: Ten Passages

Chapter 271: Ten Passages

It’s been a long time.” Wang Ye smiled at Yu Min.

He looked at the tall man beside her who had an imposing aura. His dark brown armor had the logo of the Fire Chimes Pirates printed on it.

If he didn’t guess wrongly, this was Yu Min’s sixteenth brother, Yu Huotong whose bounty was as high as 250,000 cosmic dollars.

Hmm.” Yu Min seemed to have some emotions in her voice. She stared at Yi

Nai’er, who was intimately clinging to Wang Ye’s arm. “Why are you with a cosmic adventurer?”

Yi Nai’er’s beautiful eyes flickered. She also looked at Wang Ye. “They’re cosmic pirates. Are you familiar with them?”

Nante pursed his lips tightly and tried to hold back his laughter.

It wasn’t scary to bump into another side chick, after all, the ugly one would be the one who would be awkward. But if the two girls were natural enemies, that would be interesting!

She saved my life.” Wang Ye said to Yi Nai’er and smiled at Yu Min. “If she didn’t lend a helping hand, I might have died in the pursuit of a cosmic nation’s family.”

Yi Nai’er’s expression softened a little. She nodded slightly, but she loosened her grip on Wang Ye s arm.

Yu Min crinkled her nose and looked at him with an expression that read “It seems you haven’t forgotten my help”.

By the way, Yu Min, how did you get in?” Wang Ye didn’t explain much.

He couldn’t be too passive in dealing with this situation. It was like two armies facing each other. Once the two women got into a fight, even the gods couldn’t save him.

Even if he wanted to protect one side, it might end in losing both sides.

My brother…” Yu Min was about to speak when Yu Huotong interrupted. “Cosmic-level brat, don’t try to get close. How did you get through the thunder origin core barrier? By relying on her?”

There was a hint of mockery in his words as if he had already figured out Wang Ye’s “ability”.

Wang Ye smiled and didn’t explain. He nodded at Yu Min, then said to Yi Nai’er, “Let’s go to passage 2 and take a look.”

Alright.” Yi Nai’er smiled. She was pleased about the clear distinction between Wang Ye and cosmic pirates. It was obvious that he had nothing to do with the cosmic pirates. He had just been rescued before.

But now, he was already a cosmic adventurer.

Thinking of this, she tightened her grip on Wang Ye s arm.

Yu Min bit her gorgeous red lips with a complicated expression.

He’s not worth it,” Yu Huotong said to his sister. “Let’s go. Think about which passage we should enter.”

Yeah.” Yu Min had mixed feelings.

Wang Ye knew very well that in the core region where the number of cosmic adventurers far exceeded the number of cosmic pirates, choosing the wrong faction would not just bring failure, but he might even lose his life.

Moreover, he and Yu Min were not at that point yet. They just had a good impression of each other.

He wouldn’t be blinded by beauty.

Of course, if his relationship with Yu Min was like Xin Ran’s, it would be another matter.

Yu Huotong is very powerful.” Although Wang Ye didn’t know how he did it, Yu Min’s ability to enter the core area must have something to do with Yu Huotong.

Nante was a little surprised.

Had the situation been resolved so easily?

He thought that there would be a great battle.

Looking at Yi Nai’er, who was still leaning against Wang Ye, Nante was impressed.

This brother of his was really amazing in this aspect!

Passages 2 and 3 are very similar. How do you feel?” Wang Ye looked at Yi Nai’er.

The attraction isn’t as strong as passage 3, but I do sense something. Why is the number in passage 2 so big?” Yi Nai’er asked curiously as she observed passage 2.

It was eight times the number displayed in passage 3!

Let’s see if the number in passage 1 will be even bigger.” Wang Ye memorized the characteristics of passage 2 and walked to passage 1 on the leftmost side.

After a moment, the three of them were somewhat stunned.

There were no numbers, only a thin layer of light.

Every white light passage had energy fluctuations with different intensities.

Only passage 1 was the calmest. It was like a quietly flowing stream, forming a sharp contrast with the other passages.

Do all of you have a vague sense of something?” Wang Ye looked at Yi Nai’er and Nante.

The two nodded in unison.

Is this the safest passage?'” Yi Nai’er pondered.

I’m not sure, but from the signs, it seems to be so… Let’s continue to look at the passages on the right,” Wang Ye said.

From passages 6 to 10, the more he looked, the more shocked he became!

The powerful energy and pressure, the increasingly smaller numbers, and the various dark beasts all showed how mysterious and powerful these white light passages were.

But what did all this mean?

From left to right, and then from right to left, Wang Ye and the other two observed the passages over a dozen times.

After imprinting the characteristics of each passage into their minds, they returned to the core area where the Dark Energy-level experts gathered.

Hayat was currently communicating with the cosmic nations’ experts.

Yu Huotong was the same. The few cosmic pirates had clearly gathered to avoid being attacked by the cosmic adventurers.

But in fact, they would not be.

The seemingly peaceful core area was much more dangerous than the thunder origin core barrier. A slight change would affect the whole situation.

Just the white ball of lightning in the middle that was as big as a huge villa made everyone not dare to act rashly.

The scene of the Silverjade Cosmic Nation’s expert being struck by the white lightning, his body and soul destroyed, was still vivid in their minds.

No one knew what the rules of the core area were. If they triggered the white lightning to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, compared to the unimaginable wealth and treasures of the black realm s master, the so-called opposing factions were nothing at this stage.

It seems like we have to choose a path before we can leave,” Yi Nai’er said to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye said, “But there’s too little information. No one dares to act rashly. They’re afraid of losing their opportunity and choosing the wrong path. From the signs of other experts’ previous entry, there seems to be only one chance.”

Most people were watching and waiting. It was obvious at a glance.

Smart people like Avro would go around communicating with others. They could make friends with experts and obtain information at the same time.

Those who were more aloof, like the young man with the Scorching Sun bloodline, just stood there and didn’t participate in the discussion.

They had absolute confidence in their strength. As long as an opportunity appeared, they could seize it.

But is there any use in waiting like this?

’ Yi Nai’er asked.

Wang Ye nodded. “There will always be experts who can’t hold back and enter the ten passages to investigate. Over time, information will slowly be generated and accumulated, adding to the fact that more people will arrive soon. Once there are more people, there will be changes.”

I’m afraid it’ll be disadvantageous to us,” Yi Nai’er said. “There are at least five more cosmic days.”

Wang Ye knew what Yi Nai’er meant.

5 cosmic days later, a large number of cosmic nation families would enter, and the balance between the factions would be broken.

No one knew what would happen then.

Did you find anything?” Hayat’s voice sounded as he walked over.

The treasures of the black realm’s master are most likely hidden in the ten passages,” Wang Ye voiced his speculations. “But I don’t know which passage it is.”

Everyone thinks so too,” Hayat said. “In particular, many experts have sensed something from passage 3. Currently, most have entered that passage.”

What about the other passages?” Wang Ye asked.

1, 2, and 6. Other than passage 3,” Hayat said. “Three Dark Energy-level experts have entered these three passages.”

Passages 7, 8, 9, and io are the ones with the least people, right?” Wang Ye said.

Hayat nodded. “I don’t think anyone has entered passages 7 and 9 yet.

Someone actually entered passage 10?

Such a brave man!

The aura energy there was the strongest. The white-light-shrouded passage 10 gave him a rather terrifying feeling as if there was a monster living in there. Even if one just stepped in, they would be torn to pieces by the violent energy.

In contrast, passage 7 gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Is there any information about that thing?” Wang Ye pointed ahead.

The hundred-meter-wide ball of white lightning was the most abrupt existence. It was like a bungalow that had appeared in the middle of a skyscraper.

There are many guesses, but the amount of information about it is less than the ten passages,” Hayat said. “The power of the white lightning is too intimidating, so no one dares to test it. They don’t even want to get close. They’re afraid of being targeted by the white lightning.”

Wang Ye nodded.

The number of people gathered around the ball of white lightning was clearly fewer than outside the passages.

I’ll go take a look.” Without a word, Wang Ye severed his left arm and walked forward.

It caused the surrounding people to be puzzled.

On the other hand, the blue-eyed young man who was very familiar with Wang Ye lit up.

He knew Wang Ye’s abilities very well.

In terms of strength, Wang Ye was no match for him, but in terms of intelligence, this student from the Supreme Human Academy’s Military Strategy Department was far superior.

Buzz! Buzz!

The abnormally active white lightning was like a powerful demon that was sealed within the boundary and could break out at any time.

Once they came into contact, death was certain.

Wang Ye carefully examined the cubic outer layer covering the area of white lightning and approached it step by step.

Even though they were in proximity, the white lightning didn’t have any intention of attacking him. Instead, it moved up, down, left, and right quickly.

Gasps sounded, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Wang Ye. His probing behavior attracted everyone’s attention.

Is it the remnant consciousness of the black realm’s master, or is it the weapon spirit?” Wang Ye stared at the white ball of lightning.

Although everyone was welcomed upon arriving in the Wuyuan Black Realm when they entered the core area, Nante was not.

There was no information on the ten passages either. All questions seemed to point to the white ball of lightning. It might contain secrets!

From what he could see, there was not much information other than the white lightning.

The only variable was the four corners of the white lightning boundary, the four small cubes that contained high-dimensional energy. They were the keys to solving the problem!

What would happen if he touched one?

Wang Ye tentatively put his hand on one of the cubes.

The surroundings instantly fell silent.

Nothing happened!

No, it has a strong suction force, and it’s very empty.” Wang Ye was deep in thought.

&

His guess was right. There was indeed something about these four small cubes that were ten centimeters long.

Could they be absorbing energy?

Wang Ye tried to release his ability, but it was instantly swallowed. It was like throwing a small stone into a lake. There wasn’t even a splash.

Combat energy?

Wang Ye tried again and it was also swallowed in the blink of an eye.

The tyrannical strength contained in the small cube seemed to want to draw out all the combat energy in his body, which shocked Wang Ye.

That was not rijiht either.

&

Wang Ye hesitated for a moment and took the cube decisively.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

In an instant-

Boom!

White lightning struck.

The moment the lightning landed, Wang Ye was killed..
